Not only is Conor excellent with elbows (and striking in general) in tight or in the clinch
Conor can also counter that ass with elbows
I love that sequence so much. Conor's skills are truly in another universe
From utilising distance deception (pay attention to Conor's lead foot positionings) to scramble Alvarez ability to properly read distance and draw out, to Conor slick defensive skill and countering - outside slip to cross face elbow counter....
If Conor had missed the elbow, he still couldve used that cross face elbow to jam Alvarez neck, control Alvarez's posture, shut down return fire, and or land off the control.
Conor is a brilliant tactician...the greatest MMA has ever seen
Ive done many breakdowns detailing/showing/proving how Conor is truly about as flawless as a striker as MMA has ever seen...
Conor is Money from every range and ecery position...Conor makes you miss and pay from every range and every position....Conor is truly under rated...people still dont understand how fucking NEXT LEVEL Conor's skills and fight IQ are....we are truly lucky to see a Conor McGregor In our lifetime..and yet here are trolls taking Conor for granted
"The UNeducated eye can not see nor understand the brilliance of Conor McGregor"
One of the greatest realest quotes ive ever heard
